Mark Jenkin, the BAFTA Award winning director, editor, screenwriter, cinematographer and musician, presents
the score to his new film, Rose of Nevada on Invada Records.
The album is pressed on solid yellow vinyl and includes a double-sided 12 x 12 insert.
Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films - all three feature films have been shot on 16mm using a Bolex clockwork camera – as well as his multifaceted roles as the writer, director, director of photography and editor of the film, once more he is responsible for handling the sound design and composing the original score.
The new score mirrors the techniques employed in the film, with analogue synthesisers drawing the listener into
nebulous hypnotic tones and delicate movements. Composed, produced, engineered and performed by Mark Jenkin using synthesiser, guitar, percussion and loops & effects, the environmental recordings remind us of the context in which the music was originally borne, but as the score ebbs and flows between ambient tranquil seas and crashing storms, it affirms its presence as a powerful stand-alone piece of work.
